Inside

Ground Floor
The front door opens into a well proportioned sitting room with plenty of natural light from the large bow window that overlooks the frontage. There is ample space for settees and armchairs, and the fireplace with a wood burning stove and exposed stone wall, add character and warmth to the room.

From the sitting room a door opens into the kitchen/dining room. This has a window and door opening to the rear garden, and is fitted with a range of country style units consisting of floor cupboards, some with drawers and corner carousel and eye level cupboards plus an open shelved corner unit. You will find a good amount of wood effect work surfaces with a tiled splash back and a ceramic sink and drainer with a swan neck mixer tap. There is space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The electric oven is built in with an induction hob and extractor hood above. For practicality and appearance, the floor is laid in a vinyl tile. Stairs rise to the first floor with an exposed stone wall and a door opens to an inner hall where there is a window to the side and shelf beneath plus access to a large storage cupboard housing the gas fired central heating boiler and door to the bathroom.

The bathroom is fitted with a modern suite consisting of a bath with a mains shower above, vanity style wash hand basin and a WC. The floor is laid in an attractive patterned tile.

First Floor
Stairs rise to a small landing where doors open to the two double bedrooms. There are wood panelled and exposed stone walls. The principal bedroom looks out to the front and takes in a partial view of Duncliffe Wood in the distance. There is a built in wardrobe, exposed ceiling beam, recess with shelves and the original Victorian fireplace.

Bedroom two has a window with seat beneath to the rear aspect, it also has a built in wardrobe, recess with shelves, and exposed ceiling beam and part wood panelled walls. It also has access to the loft space with a drop down ladder - the loft is fully boarded and has a skylight to the front elevation.

Outside

In front of the cottage, you will find a block paved area with space to park one car. There is mature hedgerow to either side, giving privacy from the neighbouring cottages. On one side there is a covered passageway allowing access to the rear garden.

Immediately to the back of the property there is a small enclosed yard with a gate that opens to a path where there is a store for the property (old WC) and a gate to the main rear garden. This is a good size, long and enclosed. There is further storage shed and a curving path leads part way down the garden. It is mostly laid to lawn with a paved seating area at the bottom and planted with shrubs and trees. There is plenty of scope to landscape it your way.
